Defect Tracking

Repository of user created Defect, Bug, Issue, Feature reports for HC.

Background: This forum encapsulates perhaps the most thorough documentation of sub-optimal performance of HC. Most of the reports demonstrate excellent form and presentation to make addressing defects as easy as possible, use them as a template. The term Defect is used since not everything is a bug; some items are bugs, some are design limitations, some voice a dissenting viewpoint, defect is the term chosen to cover all of the ground.

 

Tags: Add the following tags to new issue reports,

OP: Username, UNFILED, VerRep: 2017.011

Replace "Username" with your forum username and 2017.011 with the version of the game in which you see the issue.

 

Hints: A test scenario is better than a saved game. A tiny test scenario targeted at the problem helps track down the issue. The fewer the units in the scenario, the easier to debug as well.

  1. Tony, In the update you just released when you add a base to a scenario and then close the box the SE closes. I was adding a base to Taiwan. I reinstalled hc2020.004GESE and the SE didn't close when I closed the Add Base Menu. Attached are the Scenario and the latest addition of my Fictional db \ave a great day, Eric SE Closes After Adding Base.zip

  2. When I create my own scenario in the WestPac region, partway through the game, my carrier battle group disappears from the screen. Anyone else have this issue?

  3. I have a a re occurring crash with GE20019.001. I have narrowed it down to the second. Saved game GE 2019.001 SVG 115 crashes when opened. Saved game GE 2019.001 SVG 113 and 114 open correctly. They are 1 second apart. As long as I keep playing the scenario it keeps running. If you need me to go back several more game seconds please let me know. I have included a copy of my fictional db and saved games files 113,114, and 115 in the zip file. If you need any additional info pleas let me know. Have a great day, Eric GE20019.001 GE Crash.zip

  4. I was playing Pac.6 with data base 170909. After getting a couple of hours in to game time I experience game crash to desktop during a save, both manually and autosave, with the save game becoming corrupt and unable to reload. The popup at times would give me GetMemAnnexA Error: !IS_DISK)65535 [oxffff]) = 65536. I began to repeat the process with a game save about a minute before the crashes would occurred repeatedly and attempted save game would not reload as I believed it was corrupted. I then noticed an event the proceeded the save crashes. The AI's helicopters would start crashing due to no intervention of my own mainly in task groups. Once this event took p…

When I essay to load the first type of plane in the Scenario Editor, I saw the indication of maximum number of planes=65417 !!!!!!!! I say OK, but it's loaded only one plane !!! Testing with some numbers (1, 136, 137, 138, 255,256, 257, 1000, 10000) the outcome is ever the same, one pla…

This is a reminder to set up the saving and restoring of size and checking for whether the previous size is still valid (thanks to changed font dpi, monitor resolution changes, change in # or positioning of monitors) Issue-010-GE-Main-Window-doesn't-remember-size.pdf

This has been fixed but the fix impacts all types of detections so thorough testing would be good. This is a larger problem as well affecting all detections. The code uses…

Attached file is original GIUK, scenario 3. Is this caused by the old DB, or a GE issue? Under 30 miles from the US surface group is a heavily damaged Tango on the surface. However, if I try to attack with surface ships, I get the choice of Standoff ASW or Short Range ASW. No choice of missiles. Soon as a helo takes off, I'll have a hard radar lock, and should be able to finish it off. I've had other instances of this,…

Player gunnery adheres to the ROF properly. The AI wins every surface-to-surface gunnery duel in very quick fashion! I tested with 2009.074 too, and same result. I recall that I noticed this a few years back, but never got around to reporting it. Effectively surface-to-surface gunnery is broken unless the AI can be fixed to play fair.

Is the IR even working? When I ran the attached test scenario is was nighttime. You'll have to use my homemade database to run the attached test scenario (using EC2003 GIUK Battleset). 1. Play Blue and crank the time compression up to 5 mins. You'll get a detection at 21nm....if it's nighttime (haven't tested during daylight). Both Blue and Red a…

If you create a new base from the default blank screen the base name is ok. Problem does not exist in the 2009.096 SE release.

(see adjunt file): In the first image, firing a Mk48 Mod 5 ADCAP (1988+) torpedo from SSN Hartford against an SSN Akula-class (K-317 Pantera). In my personal DB the Mk48 Mod 5 ADCAP has 105 damage points against a sub (and 209 against a surface ship). The Akula has 138 damage points. But the dialog Window about the impact reads Akula "hit 1 times for 30105 …

Behaviour is as follows: Active RH missile (whether AAM, ASM or SSM) appears to reach its intended target and then disappear. As if the terminal engagement did not happen. The behaviour appears to be inconsistent. Savegame is from HDS1 scenario 3.0 - Circle the Wagons Check the Harpoon SSM engagement in the North Sea. Issu…

I've returned to HC2015.004 (I don't tested 005 to 006) and the renamed names are recovered. As example you can test in the attached LCS 2 scenario (is the standard issued scenario) as Fiery Cross Reef (ZXa) is reverted to Generic Small Airport. Is the same effect both in Game Engine and Sce…

Examples: EC2003 IOPG scenarios have some installations with names drawn from HCDA, not HCDB. EC2003 GIUK scenarios have some installations with names drawn from original stock DB, not HCDB. Other possibilities may exist. No savegame necessary. Just open any stock battleset scenario. Issue-111-Installations-annex-mismatch.pdf

Currently surface and submarine groups will tear off after detected threats and never get back to their original course, greatly limiting the careful course plotting the scenario author laid out. The toggle will be per scenario and exposed somewhere in the SE's UI. At…
